</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Coach Leslie Frazier is leaving the questionable tag on Peterson, but at this point it would be a surprise if Peterson sits. Even Peterson's dad said he expects his son to play. With Joe Webb the likely starter, the Vikings will rely heavily on the running game. Peterson is a strong bet for 20-plus touches with Toby Gerhart mixing in as well.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>The two extra days of rest have reportedly made a significant difference. At this point, we can't imagine a scenario where Peterson wouldn't be in all fantasy lineups as the centerpiece of the Vikings offense in a run-heavy attack. Vikings inactives: QB Brett Favre, QB Rhett Bomar, WR Greg Lewis, WR Hank Baskett, S Madieu Williams, S Tyrell Johnson, OL Thomas Welch, and DT Fred Evans. Jamarca Sanford is starting at free safety for Williams.
